This traditional Japanese Inn is thoroughly modern with excellent facilities, rooms, Michelin quality food, and helpful staff. We want to call out ‘Mikki’ who was super kind and helped us with any language barriers we had. The entire restaurant staff was amazing and we are grateful to meet the chef. The onsens were also wonderful. A room here with breakfast and dinner included is an excellent value.

The room was immaculate. The service was also excellent. All the staff were very warm, friendly and helpful. The surprising element was the breakfast and dinner service. The food preparation was meticulous and worthy of a Michelin Star.
